| Jul 26, 2011 at 9:52 | comment | added | 千里ちゃん | Also, downvotes are bad because they're just senseless discouragement. They don't actually express anything. If someone thinks there isn't enough information, they say so clearly by saying: "There's not enough info. Please provide this info." Downvoting is just sadistic, and it translates no meaning whatsoever. | |
| Jul 26, 2011 at 9:50 | comment | added | 千里ちゃん | They're also not good because they cause many people to get even the right to ask questions removed from their accounts across stack exchange. | |
| Jul 26, 2011 at 9:50 | comment | added | 千里ちゃん | They're not good because I want to post a picture with my support request, but I can't do so because I have -5 on my initial post, -10 on this post, and -howevermuch everywhere else from spree downvoters. | |
| Jul 26, 2011 at 8:04 | comment | added | Cody Gray | Why is it "not good"? How can downvotes be "good" or "bad"? Aren't they just expressions of other people's opinions? Maybe they don't think the question is clear or useful. Maybe they don't think there's enough information provided to diagnose or fix the problem. It doesn't have to mean that they disagree someone is having the problem. That seems a bit like a straw man argument. | |
